COURT CASES
The Edmunds Fisheries Bill as it
Would Affect Northern
Vermont.

The Edmunds bill, proposing a re-
taliatory policy toward Canada, ex-
cites much public interest on the
northern frontier, and the cardinal
principle of non-intercourse as APP
piled to fishing vessels and the fisher
les is universally favored in Northern
New England. The enforcement of
all the proposed retaliatory measures
would have the effect of excluding
Canadian steamers and boats from
business on Lake Champlain, and
prevent the shipments of lumber from
the Ottawa district into the United
States. 1t would also prevent the
importation of fish for American
consumption caught by Canadian fish
ermen in Missisquoi Bay, and make
seine fishing less profitable to the
''kanucks, who are now licensed
by the Dominion authorities to drag
nets in Lake Champlain to supply
the ! ankee fish market. During the
season of navigation quite a large
fleet of Canadian vessels, both steam
and sail, enter American ports on
the lakes laden with the products Of
the Dominion. Some two hundred
million feet of lumber from the OF
tawa district, valued at several mil
lion dollars, is brought to Burlington
and Albany via Lake Champlain.
The crews of the boats engaged in
the lumber trade have been accus-
toned to procure supplies and ''bait''
in American lake ports, and to sell
their fish in the open market free of
duty.
The restrictive measure under
which it is proposed to exclude Ca
madam cars from entering the United
States is in the opinion of most peo-
pie in this region uncalled for. The
enforcement of such a measure would
be, it is thought, serious blow to
the business interests of this section
and would, it is feared, be followed
by the Canadian authorities refusing
to allow American cars to enter Can
ada from the states. Nearly 1000
loaded cars now daily enter Canada
for New England and New York
points. Many of these cars come
via the Grand Trunk and Central
Vermont line loaded with wheat and
produce for export from Boston.

Does Not Bring The Proof

The esteemed CdIedOnidn, after
reproachfnIly speaking of the men,
bers of the present legislature. in re-
gard to their temperance standing
and their efforts in the direction of
good temperance legislation, does
not care to bring any proof to sub
stantiate its statement. We are
afraid that the disposition lately
manifested to be independent and
censorious, may lead that organ to
be careless if not unjust. sometimes.

the people may know something OF the
management Of this important service,
they propose to run the plowshare OF
Congressional investigation straight
through his Office. Atkins knows that
many unpleasant things will be turned
up, and this may account for the rumor
Of his contemplated resignation. Cleve-
land has been unfortunate in several of
his Bureau appointments. Commission
er Sparks of the Land Office, has been
a continual source of annoyance. Com.
missioner Black, of the Pension Office,
has caused the Administration no little
trouble. Second Auditor Day loiters
in his work and is two years behind
hand, while the honest creditors of the
Government wonder why their accounts
are not settled. These are only random
samples of an almost universal rule
that prevails under this reform, econo-
mical regime. A more stupendous
farce was never enacted, or bigger inn
position palmed off on patient and
merciful people.

- { 4 q I { 5-E 8 - Z
& At a.puhlic meeting held in town of
Linden September 11th 1857 to express
sentiments in regard to the new court
house project it was resolved to respect
fully submit to the honorable county
board the following By the erection Of
said court house at once, the public
debt of this little county would soon
approximate the enormous amount of a
Hundred thousand Dollars, and that
within 10 years after the county was
nearly out of debts. This debt creating
administration of the county must OF
course result in compelling the indus
trial people of the county to pay year
" bounty to the money lenders. We
are, from principle, against all creation
of public debt where it can be avoided,
because it is a means to tax the people
in favor Of the money broker. Let us
pay for the public improvements we
make, and leave to the coming gene
rations to make such improvements as
we can not afford to pay for rather than
to give the money broker morte age
on our children.
We believe that with proper repairs
and caretaking the present county
buildings ought to serve the purpose
until the now existing debt Of thecounty
is paid. Then tax might be levied
for Court house, but the building of the
same should be deferred until at least
the largest part of the amount had ac-
cumulated.
Before any County building is erect
ed the County Board should secure
perfect title to the site for the same.
As the principles herein expressed
are known to be the prevailing senti-
ment in the largest part of the End
Commissioner District we hereby re-.
spectfully request and expect the COM
missioner OF this district, Mic Gulden,
to vote in the board in conformity with
above expressed principles.

The arguments in above communica-
ton are so weak that it would be q
waste of time to answer. them. From
all we have been able to learn, an over
whelming majority of the second dis
trict are in favor of building a new
court house. The opinions expressed
in the communication seem to lack
support in town Linden and we are of
the opinion that not dozen persons
could be found to endorse them if they
thought the matter over carefully.
